Effects of moderate variations in macronutrient composition on weight loss and reduction in cardiovascular disease risk in obese, insulin-resistant adults

The influence of carbohydrate-protein co-ingestion following endurance exercise on myofibrillar and mitochondrial protein synthesis

..These data indicate that the increase in myofibrillar MPS for C+P could, potentially, be mediated through p70S6K, downstream of mTOR, which in turn may suppress the rise in eEF2 on translation elongation...

..Changes to expression of IGF genes in progeny skeletal muscle resulting from variations to maternal protein intake during gestation may have permanent and sex-specific effect on postnatal skeletal muscle growth...

Protein supplementation before and after exercise does not further augment skeletal muscle hypertrophy after resistance training in elderly men

..Considerable discrepancy exists in the literature on the proposed benefits of protein supplementation on the adaptive response of skeletal muscle to resistance-type exercise training in the elderly...

Urine nitrogen as a biomarker for the validation of dietary protein intake

..Associations were weak, differed by choice of control, and may reflect sampling variability or methodological differences. Persistent small energy imbalances could explain the increased weight of famine-exposed individuals...

Dosing and efficacy of glutamine supplementation in human exercise and sport training

Maternal consumption of high-prebiotic fibre or -protein diets during pregnancy and lactation differentially influences satiety hormones and expression of genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism in offspring in rats

..A function of UCPs in energy balance and dissipating food energy was suggested. Future experiments are focused on the regulation of UCP gene expression by dietary protein, which could be important for body-weight management...

..To assess the effect of replacing red meat with chicken in the usual diet and the effect of a low-protein diet on glomerular filtration rate (GFR), urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER), and lipid levels in patients with type 2 diabetes...

Low-carbohydrate-high-protein diet and long-term survival in a general population cohort

A TrichopoulouDepartment of Hygiene and Epidemiology, School of Medicine, University of Athens, Athens, GreeceEur J Clin Nutr 61:575-81. 2007

..We have evaluated the effects on mortality of habitual low carbohydrate-high-protein diets that are thought to contribute to weight control...

..However, from a diagnostic perspective, indicators other than N balance need to be identified, since maintenance of N balance can no longer be used as a surrogate of adequate protein-related health...

Low-carbohydrate-diet score and the risk of coronary heart disease in women

..05). Postnatal HP alone had no significant effect on body composition or metabolic rate. These results indicate that in utero exposure to a high protein level reprograms body weight and energy homeostasis...

..will provide new information regarding factors that may modify and regulate the mucosal immune response to dietary proteins in man and how mucosal inflammation results in inflammatory disease in the skin, joints and other organs...

Insects have evolved a system for storage of amino acids in which amino acids derived from dietary proteins during the last feeding larval stage are used to synthesize large amounts of a few well-defined proteins, called storage proteins...

..Mucosal integrity will be studies by looking for circulating Antigen-Ab complexes to normally excluded dietary proteins. The presence of viral specific immune complexes will be correlated with viral Ab in secretory fluids...

..with this rare inherited disease are unable to metabolize phenylalanine, an essential amino acid found in all dietary proteins. In the absence of treatment, ingested phenylalanine and its metabolites accumulate to toxic levels in blood ..

..objective of these studies is to develop adequate methods for the evaluation of nutritional quality of dietary proteins. Specifically, it includes extension of the previously proposed method for the evaluation of the efficiency ..
